I was planning to make a page for the spaceship known as "The Lost Light" from IDW's Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye series. I'm just a little unsure on whether to make a page for the ship itself (object) and another page for the crew (team), or to simply list it as a team page so that I can add crew members and also images of the ship itself to the team gallery. The latter option seems the better choice in my opinion, but I just thought I should get some input first
Spaceship = object or team?
@pikahyper:
On a similar topic: the Death Star should be an object, not a location?
@pikahyper said:
@JediXMan: eh that is up for debate, something that size should probably be a location.
It can move. I mean, we have Mogo as a character and not a location. Plus, to quote a famous movie:
"That's no moon; it's a space station."
A space station - a mobile battlestation, as it is classified - would fit better as an object.
@JediXMan: @pikahyper: I generally put such things as objects but tag them under the location rules. I actually covered this in the Troubleshooter. The size of the Death Star is an issue though, especially that we have the Empire State Building designated as a place though it is much smaller than a death star
So is it rule of thumb that any artificial structure should be under objects?
Kind of confusing when Deep Space Nine is a location but Babylon 5 is an object.
@_gaff_: not really, what it boils down to is if it is something that is made by man, aliens, whatever and it is primarily a vehicle then it should be an object so spaceships fall into this category and if it is something that is generally stationary or of such a large size that it is the equivalent of a city or so then it should be a location even if it can technically move like a space-station like DS9 or the Death Star, Babylon 5 specifically looks to be a vehicle primarily so it is an object whereas DS9 does not typically move so it is a location that has its own community.
